Sacramento County is one of the five Delta
counties. The Delta Counties Coalition’s
five-bucket strategy addresses California’s
water needs and protects the Delta’s vast
and valuable natural resources.

"It's really a misnomer to call
this a California WaterFix
because it doesn't fix the water
challenges facing California and
it does not provide any new
water. It creates more problems,
if anything. If this comes to
fruition, the people of the
Delta region lose, not just now,
but for generations to come.”

-Supervisor Don Nottoli

"It’s hard to see this new plan
as progress. The tunnels remain
intact while environmental and
economic safeguards for the
Delta are made weaker."

-Supervisor Patrick Kennedy

“The Governor’s tunnel plan is flat out deceptive. I’m so disappointed in what the state has put out. Beyond disappointed, I’m angry.”

-Supervisor Susan Peters

"Sacramento County continues to welcome ideas about how best to protect the Delta and responsibly convey water in our state, but what we cannot and will not do is agree to compromise our constituents’ way of life in the process."

-Supervisor Phil Serna

"The Governor’s new plan for the
Delta is very troublesome. I
continue to have great concerns
about not only the new plan’s
impacts to northern California,
but its effectiveness to
accomplish its mandated two
co-equal goals."

-Congresswoman Doris Matsui

In response to opponents of his
tunnel plan, Governor Brown said
"…shut up, because you don’t
know what… you’re talking
about!"

-Governor Jerry Brown

Reflecting on the Governor’s
tunnel project and his sentiment
that humans must adapt, George
Skelton writes, "Here’s an idea:
Try something new that’s
smaller, less expensive and more
acceptable. Adapt."

-LA Times Columnist, George
